Smoked Green Beans
Smoked Green Beans are a simple side dish recipe that are perfect to make at the same time as chicken or pork.
Basically a complete meal all made on the smoker.
I made these green beans along with Smoked BBQ Chicken Thighs, same time and same temperature 🙂
Bringing both dishes extra flavor and bonus points for making your life a little easier doing all at once.
How to Make Smoked Green Beans
The first step is trimming a pound of fresh green beans.
You could also add some cooked and crumbled bacon for extra yumminess.
Then cut them in half, or for the longer beans into thirds.
And place them in a cast iron skillet or foil pan.
Then add a small, finely diced onion.
And 6 tablespoons butter, garlic, seasoning blend of choice, 1/4 cup water, kosher salt, and pepper.
I am using a cajun seasoning blend, but a BBQ seasoning or Old Bay would work great too.
Set the smoker or pellet grill to 250 degrees.
And set the pan on the grill grate for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
This happened to be the same time and temperature as the chicken thighs 🙂
Pretty nice to set a complete dinner on the smoker and know it will be ready at the same time.
Smoked Green Beans are a definite do again very soon, and all the kids ate their veggies with no complaints 🙂
I may play around with different flavors to add to this simple side dish.
I mean, bacon is never a bad thing to add or maybe even teriyaki green beans?!
Stay tuned, my friends, for more variations on these 😉
